Default Re: PBW - Loosers Who Quit

Hmm, I didn't really mean to open a can of worms here. My own personal choice is to play on till I can do no real damage to my opponent. Then I ask the owner to "finish" my empire. I like to keep playing because I always seem to learn more in a loss than in a win, in fact, a win makes me cocky and everyone likes to whack a cocky SOB.

I wouldn't be apposed to having a like or said list posted somewhere for all to see. This 'Black List' would be a great guide to determine if one wants to play a game with someone. Might also force somepeople to correct their horrible ways. Maybe even give Ratings or something so that you really can determine how much of a loser the community views this person as....

My blacklist is not for public consumption but I may let individuals see it if they ask, and only if they vow not to pass it along.

I learned a long time ago, getting my butt kicked in chess tourneys, that the honorable thing to do was resign when the game ending was obvious. Even then, I saw people who were obviously going to lose sit there and make the opponent sit there while his clock ran down. To me, that's the SE4 equivalent of not submitting a turn and forcing everyone else to "watch your clock run down".

I know RL pops up sometimes (Nodachi and Gecko come to mind) but it's also obvious that RL wasn't the problem when you see the same guy active in another game.

I don't like quitters like that but I try to take them in stride. No point in "having a cow" as Bart would say .
